Greek People

There is a surplus of the ugly in Greece -- of avarice, of hideous modernity, corruption, exploitation. But though it is largely hidden, there is something about the tough, durable fiber, the pride of generosity, the fierce instinct for independence which is at the core of the Greek soul.

After two years of being portrayed in the international media as lazy, incompetent and escape goats for the breakdown of the global financial system, Greeks from all over the world unite their voices with the sole aim of telling a simple truth: Greece cannot be identified with the failures of its political system.
